| Introduction | I consider myself a small-c conservative, and a small-d democrat. I'm a pro-collective libertarian, and a staunch bleeding heart capitalist. Over the last few decades, we've swung so far to the right, that 20 minutes into almost any political conversation, somebody's going to tag me as a Looney Toons Leftie simply because I'm trying to argue in favor of getting this thing back to the middle. Or maybe it's a natural reversing of the poles that happens once in a while. But it should be easy to see how we're backsliding towards authoritarian rule, which usually happens as a republic ages and people start to understand how hard democratic self-government really is. I'm trying to see things for what they are - as it all happens - and I'm trying to write some of it down before it gets lost in my brain clutter, or just disappears into the ether. To clarify: Mine is a very common name, and while I kind of like it that way because it gives me some anonymity, I'll tell you I'm not the Mike Roberts who has written a few novels; I didn't do porn; I wasn't CEO of ICANN. I'm just me. |
